There are differing opinions on this. If you are in the business of breeding horses they may breed a younger mare. I think the youngest age should not be before 6 or 7 years old. This gives enough time to let the horse mature and get her broke to ride before she becomes a mother.

Answer- wait until she is at least 3 years old so that she has the majority of her growth.

Male and female horses both can live to the same age. A fair life expectancy is 25 years old, although many will live in perfect condition into their 30's. Some breeds will deteriorate longer than others. For example, it is known that a Suffolk Punch can live to 40 years old, whilst a successfully raced thoroughbred may be lucky to reach 30.

Mares have a estrus cycle, not a menstrual cycle like a human female and therefore do not have a period.

There is no reason to give a female dog medications for a first heat. Having a heat cycle is a normal thing for a female dog. If you are not going to breed her, then have her spayed as soon as she is out of heat. She will live a longer and healthier life. Cut down her risks of mammary tumors, uterine infections, perianal tumors, etc.

Why does your 15 year old dog still has cycle?

I will assume you are talking about the dog's heat cycle. A female dog does not have a menopause, as people do. Their cycles continue their entire life, though in it's elder years the cycle can become less predictable as to when it occurs. A female dog no matter it's age can become pregnant, but that doesn't mean it's healthy for an older dog! This is why female dogs need to be spayed, preferably before the onset of their first heat cycle.
